storm together to make a mob. One of my dreams
expresses the problem more constructively:
We
are getting ready to go to the dream dance. Some
of us have our dream shields, others of us don't. Since the
dance can't start until all the dancers have made their
shields, the shielded dancers are cheering on the others.
The
meaning is clear. Each of us who wishes to play
the dream game will have to learn for himself the
personal meaning of his dream symbols. But we can
certainly help one another learn. If it is to be, we can
learn to cooperate with one another and with our dreams
to create a genuinely helpful Community Dream Journal.
Here the hypothesis of the Sundance Experiment has an
immediate, concrete and testable application. It will be
interesting to see what we will dream up.
